Advanced: the owner shortened my deadline
A Notice of Contest cuts your time to file suit to 60 days (§ 713.22). A separate 20-day summons (§ 713.21) can shorten it further — if you were served one, treat that date as urgent.

Want a reminder before each deadline?

We’ll email your deadline dates and remind you before each one. Optional — the calculator and calendar download above are free either way.

Prefer not to share your email? Skip — just use “Add all to calendar” above.

How the dates are counted: these are calendar-day deadlines measured from the dates you enter (45 and 90 days are added directly; one year is the same date the following year). If a deadline lands on a weekend or court holiday, confirm your filing options. This tool does not account for project termination, bonded projects, or contract clauses that change timing — have your dates confirmed before you rely on them.

Have the deadline. Now get the document right.

Download fillable Florida lien forms at a flat per-document price, or have your completed Notice to Owner or Claim of Lien checked for completeness before you file.
